Flash In The Pan – What’s “Left”?

One thing about blogging: if you’re ever stuck for ideas, there are more than enough prompts, challenges and questions out there as sources of inspiration. One in particular comes from Red at The M3 Blog (neé Momma’s Money Matters), the Flash In The Pan challenge.
Red presents a word, and a word count limit. It’s often up to the author to decide what meaning to assign the word, and how many of the available words they use.
I’ve been reading the entries to the challenges for a while now and enjoyng them. As an added incentive to participate, Red binds all the entries up in her qurterly Flash In The Pan books, published and sold through Redmund Productions.
Check em out, and play along if you like.

Turned
The projectiles of our enemy heralded their arrival. We fell into position at the forward edges of our lines, Crandell next to me, preaching as always.
“And where will you turn?”, he bellowed against the backdrop of fire. “When the choice is before you – good or evil, life or death, right or wrong – where will you turn?”
A bullet ricocheted past.
“Left”, I replied, unlimbering my weapon. “I’ll turn left”.

Thanks. Mostly it’s the flippancy I feel whenever someone is going on like that when there’s something more important going on.
(Though to be fair, both peoples ideas in the story of what’s important are different.)

Left is always a good choice. Less people that way since most people think it’s easier to turn right….
Good contribution! And yes, could be a nice little prologue to my war post today. I might have to look into these flash in the pan challenges too.

A nicely written and most interesting first flash, and at seventy three words it is awesome, I can see that your stylish use of grammar is going to be sensational, even my Zombies are impressed and you know what those freaks are like 🙂

Seriously though, I have really enjoyed your FTP on ‘Left’ and you got it absolutely right, well you know what I mean? 🙂 Have a wicked rest of Tuesday Guap and thank you for offering this one, I am sure that Red will agree with me that you have a fine talent for these FTP challenges and no mistake 🙂
